Let's Get Visual!
(An NZSL Interpreted Improvised show)
Directed by Riley Harter
Join us for a spontaneous show inspired by you, our audience, and a unique combination of creative improvisers (performing together for the first time!). With NZSL interpreters incorporated and sign language celebrated, it will be a playful exploration of storytelling, games and scenes with a visual twist.
Discover the space where comedy and theatre can be a universal language as we welcome everyone to come and experience this joyful show together.
